Story
Joan Robinson Hill was a world-class equestrian, a glamorous member of Houston high society, and the wife of Dr. John Hill, a handsome and successful plastic surgeon. Her father, Ash Robinson, was a charismatic oil tycoon obsessed with making his daughter's every dream come true. Rich, attractive, and reckless, Joan was one of the most celebrated women in a town infatuated with money, power, and fame. Then one morning in 1969, she fell mysteriously ill. The sordid events that followed comprise "what may be the most compelling and complex case in crime annals" (Ann Rule, best-selling author of The Stranger Beside Me).

Love this book and the story it tells. The characters are fascinating and the story is almost unbelievable….yet 100% true. It probably doesn’t hurt that I am a native of Houston and am related to one of the people in the story…..even though I never met her. I’m also a police officer and struggle to imagine a world where so many things could go wrong within the various investigations without someone being thrown under a bus.

Story
Close your eyes and get ready to see the world in a new and more positive way. As a child in Toronto, Molly Burke was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and became completely sightless as a teenager. Now an award-winning YouTube star and global influencer, Molly shares what it’s like to be a purple-haired, pink-obsessed fashion and makeup lover in a seeing world. She speaks with authenticity and candor about how she tackles the preconceived notions we have around blindness; Molly has made it her mission to make us see her - and ourselves- in a wholly empowering way.

As a Teacher of the Visually Impaired, I'm so grateful to read a book like this. I appreciate the moment where I was reminded of what my job is and how I can impact a child's life. Molly, way to go and thank you for inspiring others, but mostly thank you for being yourself and reminding us all to overcome our challenges.
